SIRUP PIY'IGHER Filed March 18. 1931 7 I n venior Eugene flabmsam Allomey Patented Nov. 22, 1932 A uirsn s'rars EUGENE ROBINSON, F LEVELLAND, SOUTH CAROLINA SIRUP IPITGHER Application filed March 18, 1931.Serial No. 523,554.

This invention relates to an improved pitcher for sirup and the like,the general object of the invention being to provide a pitcher which canbe easily and quickly cleaned and washed and one which will prevent thesirup or the like from dripping from the spout and running down thesides of the pitcher.

This invention also consists in certain other features of constructionand in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to behereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing andspecifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to theaccompanying drawing wherein like characters denote like orcorresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1is an elevation with parts in section.

Fig. 2 is a. top plan view with the cover removed.

In these views, the numeral 1 indicates the body of the pitcher which isprovided with the usual handle 2, and the upper part is reduced as at 3and this reduced part merges into a cylindrical flange 4 which isinternally screw threaded. The opening formed by the flange is madelarge enough to permit the hand to pass into the body so that the samecan be readily washed.

A cylindrical neck part 5 is threaded at its lower end to fit into thethreaded part of the flange 4, and the upper end of this part 5 slopesdownwardly from its front part to the rear part as shown at 6. A spout 7is con nected with the upper edge of the part 5, by a curved part 8which forms a trough between the part 5 and the top of the neck and thistrough has a perforation. or hole 9 in the bottom part of its rearportion so that the sirup or the like entering the trough will flow downthe same when the pitcher is in upright position, and passes through theperforation 9 back into the body 1.

The top part of the spout is curved downwardly and rearwardly as shownat 10, so that the front part forms a pouring spout. A substantiallydome-shaped cover 1 is hingedly connected to the rear portion of thepart 5, as shown at 12 and the lower portion of the cover 11 is shapedto snugly fit the edge 6 of the part 5. The hinge 12 is provided with afinger piece 13 which is arranged adjacent the handle 2, so that bypressing upon the finger piece 13 by the thumb of the hand grasping thehandle 2, this cover can be raised.

From the foregoing, it will be seen that I have provided a pitcher forsirup or the like in which the drip from the spout will enter the trough8 and flow down the same to the hole 9 through which the sirup will passback into the body. The parts can be readily cleaned by removing thepart 5 from the flange t as all the parts are made large enough to admitthe hand of the person washing the pitcher and the trough 8 is madelarge enough so that the finger can be drawn around the same to wash thesame.

It is thoughtfrom the foregoing description that the advantages andnovel features of the invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction andin the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided thatsuch changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is A pitcher ofthe class described comprising a body part having a reduced upper endforming a large opening and an internally threaded flange around theopening, 85 a neck portion threaded to the flange and having its upperend sloping downwardly and rearwardly, a spout having its upper andlower ends sloping downwardly and rearwardly from the front part thereofwith the lower end bent outwardly into substantially semi-circular shapeto provide 'a trough, the outer edge of which is connected to the upperend of the neck, said trough having a hole in the bottom of its rearpart, and a substantially dome-shaped cover hingedly connected at itsrear to the rear part of the neck and having its lower edge slopingdownwardly and rearwardly to engage the upper edge of the neck with thecover closing the trough when in closed position.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

EUGENE ROBINSON.
